Step by step
The six-step filing pipeline
Most filings take a few minutes of your time. Here is exactly what happens, and who does what, at every step.
Step 1:Upload your signed contract
Start a filing and upload the executed purchase agreement for the residential property you have under contract. A real, signed contract is required — the memorandum is lawful notice of a genuine deal, and nothing more.

Jurably reads your document and pulls the parties, the legal description, the property address, and the closing date into a structured filing. Nothing is drafted, reviewed, or interpreted for you — we simply surface what your contract already says.

Two rails, one result
Electronic where counties allow. Paper everywhere else.
You don’t pick a rail — we route your filing to whichever one your county supports. Either way you end up with the same recorded instrument and the same certified-mail proof.
Where counties allow
Roughly 1,979 of 3,143 US counties support electronic recording, often the same day. In Texas we’re live with instant electronic filing across all eight major metros.
- Harris
- Dallas
- Tarrant
- Bexar
- Travis
- Collin
- Denton
- Hidalgo
Everywhere else
For counties without e-recording, we print your memorandum, certified-mail the notice, and record it by hand at the clerk’s office — then track the instrument number back to you.
Same legal result. A few days longer.
